Aminu was detained alongside Usman Isa Adebayo and Salihu Shuaibu.
The trio filed a motion for their bail at the High Court on October 4.
When the matter came up on Thursday, October 17, the activists were discharged
of all charges against them.
The Department of State Services (DSS) prosecutor applied to withdraw the
charges against them. Consequently, the judge struck out the case for want
of evidence.
After his release, Khalifa Aminu took to X to write: "Today, the chains of
11 weeks of unjust detention by the @OfficialDSSNG have fallen. Their
accusations dissolved before the Federal High Court in Kaduna, where the case
against me—rooted in my stand for justice in the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria
protest—was struck out."
Sharing photos of him looking emaciated
after his time in detention and photos taken before his arrest, he added:
"Below is a picture of how I was taken and how I was returned. Judge for
yourself.
"Though confined in body, my spirit remained intact—unyielding in the face
of oppression."
